In Muskegon, the concrete opening many nurses weigh is the District Registered Nurse role at Orchard View Schools: Monday–Friday 8:30am–12:30pm, 20 hours a week on the August–June school calendar, starting at $30,000 a year. Your day there covers chronic disease management, medications, trach/vent/G-tube/catheter/ostomy care, MERT response, 504/IEP collaboration, and staff training and delegation. If you already have two years of relevant experience and a Michigan license, home care per diem work is another path—flexible scheduling, assessing health needs, and giving treatments in patients’ homes—with a predicted range listed around $50,000–$70,000 that is not a confirmed offer. The company has said it trains its team to help people succeed and runs with a growth-oriented culture under founder/CEO Nathan Baar, with a stated aim to cover 250,000 lives by 2030. Muskegon itself sits about 7% below the national cost of living, with roughly 18-minute average commutes, lakeshore neighborhoods, and housing that residents often describe as inexpensive. Early drive-thru sites in Holland and Grand Rapids were closed as the model shifted, so you are walking into a still-young, multi-setting employer rather than a long-fixed hospital campus.

Relationship-centered care; trains its team to succeed; growth-oriented; nurse-driven expansion into school nursing, employer clinics, telehealth, and Direct Primary Care.
